The rebate program (which began in April 2012) applies only to primary card holders of these cards:
It does not apply to the Citi Gold World MasterCard, Citi Executive products, or some of the Citi Business cards.
The maximum rebate for any cardholder in a single calendar year is 10,000 miles per AAdvantage account. Having more than one qualifying Citi AA card will not allow you to receive a larger rebate.

Mine wasn't. I cancelled a trip and they never took them back. This was last year though.

What party is responsible for the 10% miles back not posing? AA or Citi? Which party do you start the missing 10% inquiry....AA or Citibank?

10% Rebate for Cardholders
Hey all, I was planning on redeeming a saver award for 62.5K in first from NRT-SAN. I only have 59K in my account, but I know citi AAdvantage cardholders get the 10% bonus. Do I need to have the entire amount in my account before this rebate happens, or is there any way I can call and they can take care of this?
Thanks alot.
Thanks alot.

As your thread title indicates, it is a 10% rebate. You have to have the full 62.5k in order to redeem. Within a few days/weeks of redeeming, they will deposit 6,250 miles into your account. However, you likely cannot get this in advance.

It looks like AA American Express and MC Gold do not have the 10% benefit. Is that correct?

I should know the answer to this, booking 2 HEL-OMA J 50k's in around a week - July travel; plan on taking 50k from my account and 50k from Mrs. As long as I put the transaction charges on the Citi card for both will I get 10k back (Mrs uses Starwood AX)? AA said they would probably put me on Finnair or AB to ORD but from what I understand that doesn't make any difference for the 10% miles back.
Tell you guys I'm kind of liking this program, for the last 10 years between the two of us we have received between 40/75k every year in bonuses. Sure makes coming up with 200/225k each summer a lot easier.

Thank you, so I need to take both 50K award seats out of my account not 50k from mine and 50k hers; we currently do not have an Citi AA card in her name. If I wouldn't have asked I would have messed up and lost 5k miles.
